Brilliant read, the research by Dr, Clive Layton is not just epic, but also interesting – rare for a semi documentary work. Filled with pictures and a rich history of Shotokan’s development in France and the UK. This is a precise reference for names and dates, a veritable ‘who’s who’ in the history of British karate.
Also available – by Dr. Layton = SCOTLAND’S FIRST KARATE CLUB – YOU DON’T HAVE TO DRESS TO KILL – and RECOLLECTIONS OF A SHOTOKAN KARATE MASTER MASAO KAWASOE 8th Dan. Once again these are excellent books, engaging as a general read; full of well researched history and a wealth of photographs, many that arte unique to these books.

This sample video is from the DVD that came with Tadahiko Otsuka’s 468-page reprinted book. Originally published in 1977, this 13-book set known as “Goju Kensha Karatedo Goju-ryu Kyohon, Shidoin Course” which translates as “Goju-ryu Karatedo Complete Teaching Guide for Teachers.” This set of books set a standard that other karate books have not been able to accomplish. The original 13-book series from 1977 is extremely rare, and if you were to find it, then be prepared to spend at least $800 to $1000 for it. The book boasts literally 1000s of pictures and no karate library should be without this book. This book/DVD set can be purchased on ebay. All 13 books have been condensed into one hardback heavy volume. On ebay search for “TADAHIKO OTSUKA 468pg BIBLE Okinawa Goju-ryu Karate”
